RE: UNIX : script help/input

it was actually "C" code ... but because data is going on a modem, the pl/sql speed is acceptable (in fact we have to _wait_ after sending out each message). Had fun doing that though ... it is critical, tied to our SLA ... so must be up all the time. I'd rather handle exceptions in pl/sql than in "C".

I'd suggest to consider external C function -- it's faster, it's easier to write especially when you need to work with bits, shifts etc.. I've recently implemented crc32 for some internal project -- works well, obviously faster than SQL, PL/SQL and native comp of PL/SQL code. Native comp. is also good to consider, if it's 9i. Sure, it depends...
